- 4%
Strengths
Supplies protected damage from behind a frontline and fixes the common problem of building an army with only melee units.
Limitations
Needs protection and positioning; exposed ranged damage loses value quickly when the line collapses.
Best formation use
Give Crossbowman one clear job and use the other slots to cover missing roles. Recommended partners include Immortal and Shieldman. A practical four-slot army still needs frontline stability, ranged pressure, and enough mobility to answer objectives.
Upgrade and replacement advice
Do not upgrade from rarity alone. Test whether the replacement improves ranged damage, fixes a role gap, or makes the full formation more consistent. Change one slot at a time so the result is measurable.
